Is it hard to get back on the tube in the water when you are tubing (being pulled by a boat)?

Question

just wondering if it is hard to get yourself back up on the tube when your in the water ( if your out of shape) and if it is hard to hold on. thanks

Answer 1

You can always ask the driver to slow down. Thumbs up: faster, Thumbs down: slow down, a open palm: stop.

If you can't lift yourself then it's difficult to get back in. Try to bounce up bellyflop as far as you can onto the tube and pull the rest of you up. or ask the person next to you if it's a two-seater.

I think it's easy to hold on. There's a few positions like sitting inside the tube, just your bottom in there with your legs hanging out or, my favorite, laying on my stomach.

Here's a tip: When turning left, lean right, when turning right, lean left. It'll help keep you on and make it more of an adventure.

Answer 2

if you arent the strongest, then yes it will be hard to get back into the tube. what you need to do is grap the handles, pull with all your strength, and kick as hard as you possibly can. the kicking will really help.
